Anjola Femi, a Nigerian man known as Lucky on Twitter (@muchino67), has explained Why I mistakenly refunded $14k sent to me by a foreign crypto trader.
He recently made headlines for his decision to return $14,000 worth of Solana cryptocurrency that was mistakenly sent to him by foreign trader Rafael Alvi.
What began as Femi winning a $100 worth of Solana giveaway quickly turned into a surprising twist when Alvi realised he had mistakenly transferred a significantly larger amount.
In an act that garnered widespread praise on social media, Femi chose to uphold honesty and integrity. He recounted, “I won this giveaway on Solana, $100 worth of Solana from Rafael Alvi this morning.
So, when he sent it to me, he now messaged me that he mistakenly sent 100 Solana which was $14k instead of $100. So, he requested me to hold 10 and send 90 to him in which I did…”
When asked why he returned the substantial sum, Femi explained, “I cannot keep the money because it is not mine. I am a child of God, and we all know that righteousness exalts a nation.

Thank God for Apostle Chris Onofua, the Kingdom Spread World Ministry general overseer. He has taught us the way of righteousness, so I am very happy about what I did.”

Femi remarked. “I am just trying to show to the world that we Nigerians we are still great and also have a lot of people with integrity.
I am also a graduate of the Federal University of Technology, Minna, 2017 set, chemical engineering to be precise. Thank you and God bless you all.”
Femi’s story serves as a powerful testament to honesty and ethical behavior, resonating with many who commend his decision to return the mistakenly sent funds, setting an inspiring example of integrity in the digital age.
